Why Don't You
Cleo Sol Lyrics

Why don't you just let go
You should learn to release your troubles and relax.

And quiet down your ego?
Stop being self-centered and considerate of others.

Don't complain about finance
Stop worrying about money and focus on other important things.

I know your daddy weren't a real man
I understand your pain caused by your father's absence or lack of guidance.

Go ahead and live your dreams
Pursue your passion and chase after your dreams.

To me you're stronger than a whole team
In my eyes, you're a force to be reckoned with and capable of great things.

I know you can't relax
I understand that you have trouble unwinding and loosening up.

And you don't want me to know that
You try to keep your guard up and hide your vulnerability from me.

I see you work real hard (hard)
I notice your hard work and dedication.

You wanna help your friends (help your friends)
You're always looking out for the wellbeing of your friends.

But trust me, baby, you don't owe them
You're not responsible for solving other people's problems.

Don't take on people's problems (oh)
Don't burden yourself with other people's issues.

I wanna see you smile
I want to witness your happiness and joy.

Even when you think I'm angry (ooh)
Even if you assume I'm upset with you.

It's true it might take a while
Things may take longer than expected.

But it's between you and me
Our relationship and progress is only for us to decide.

I know you check my texts
I'm aware that you check my messages.

Don't you worry 'bout my ex
Don't let my past relationship bother you.

I might be on his mind
My ex might still be thinking about me.

But I never reply
However, I ignore him and have no intentions of replying.

Remember on the weekend
Recall what happened during the weekend.

I said I'll make some changes
I promised to make some improvements in myself.

And you said you'd do the same thing
You also committed to making some positive changes.

And I don't wanna fight my king
I don't want to argue and jeopardize our relationship.

I held you when you was weak
I was there for you when you were vulnerable.

You caught me on my knees
You caught me in a vulnerable state and comforted me.

Don't pressure me for some kids
Don't force me to have children if I'm not ready.

And I won't pressure you for marriage
I won't force you to get married if you're not ready.

I know it's never the right time
Timing is never perfect.

But we gotta do things on our time
We should work at our own pace and not worry about society's norms.

Sometime I still doubt myself
I occasionally still have insecurities and doubts.

But at least now I love myself
Though, I'm learning to accept and love myself.

And I am quite emotional
I have a deep sense of emotions.

That's why you can't get close at all
This is why it's challenging for you to get intimate with me.

So I start to push away
Therefore, I distance myself from those who love me.

The ones that love me
The loved ones who care for me.

'Cause I'm scared that they might walk away
I push away because I'm afraid they'll leave me.

I'm not perfect
I'm not flawless.

So I try everyday and I grow a little bit
But, I work hard each day to improve myself.

Read a little more so I can educate my kids
I read and learn to educate my future children.

Eat for my soul and cleanse my spirit
I eat healthily to nourish my soul and purify my spirit.

Pray 'cause I'm ready for the bloom of the seed
I pray in anticipation of good things to come.

Peace and serenity is all that I need
All I want is peace and tranquility.

Sometimes we fall in love
Love sometimes comes unexpected.

Love is always in us
Love is always a part of us.

Eat, pray, love, grow
I nourish myself physically, spirituality and emotionally.
